Subject: May 1968 Graffiti



Translations of over 200 graffiti from the May 1968 revolt
in France are now online at
http://www.slip.net/~knabb/CF/graffiti.htm

A few examples:

Power to the imagination.

Be realistic, demand the impossible.

It's painful to submit to our bosses; it's even more stupid
to choose them.

No forbidding allowed.

When examined, answer with questions.

The more I make love, the more I want to make revolution.
The more I make revolution, the more I want to make love.

Boredom is counterrevolutionary.

Run, comrade, the old world is behind you!

a Mild-Mannered Enemy of the State," and an assortment of
comics, leaflets and articles on Wilhelm Reich, Kenneth
Rexroth, Gary Snyder, the sixties counterculture, radical
women, Chinese anarchists, socially engaged Buddhists, urban
"psychogeography," the Watts riot, the Iranian uprising, the
